Asia

Asia is Malteser International’s largest zone of activity. The sheer size and diversity of the continent mean that it is home to a wide range of humanitarian needs, and our work there reflects this. Many Asian countries are highly vulnerable to extreme weather events and natural disasters, some suffer because of the effects of conflicts and instability; while problems with sanitation, food security and weak health infrastructure are widespread in the less developed nations of the continent. Malteser International’s work in Asia mainly focuses on making lasting improvements to healthcare, disaster preparedness, and nutrition security.
